THE PRAYERS WITH CONGREGATION

• Always try to say your prayers with congregation. (Muslim)
• There is 27 times more benefit to say prayers with congregation.
• The first pronounced Name of Allah (takbeer-e-oolaa) for the prayers is better than the world and whatever is in it. (Mishkaat)
• When the people begin to stand then, before takbeer, first straighten the rows. Thereafter takbeer should be said.
• It has been reported in Tirmizi that 'Umar radhiyallahu anhu had appointed a person for straightening the lines. When that person would inform that all the lines are straight, then 'Umar radhiyallahu anhu would say takbeer.
• Keep the lines perfectly straight and stand joined together. Do not leave space between each the other. The shoulders be joined together and the ankles perfectly opposite to each other. (Sihaah sittah) It is not necessary to join the ankles.
• Offer every prayer in such a manner as if it were the last prayer of your life.
• Do not run if the prayer has been started lest you should gasp. But walk steadily and with grace. (Tirmizi)
